Kabab Plate

… As the skewer heated up the kababs were cooked quickly both internally and externally.When I started making seekh kababs I make them on a skewer on the back of a long wooden spoon and would then cook then, eventually I got tired of the extra step and realized that I could make life easy and skip it, so I just started shaping them.  But for the people who want to do it right, you got to shape them over a skewer.  They are made with minced or ground meat.  Any type of meat can be used, but in our cooking, beef is more typical but in my home we generally make chicken kababs.  Again, there are many variations of seekh kababs, such as malai kabab and Bihari kabab, but today we will make simple seekh kababs..
